Pretty Ghanaian actress, Jasmine Baroudi has expressed her support for gay marriages in her country. In an interview with African Drum, the Adams Apples actress seeks legal backing for gay couples in Ghana.
She said: ‘Realising that most of them cannot be blamed for the sexual orientation they have chosen for themselves. My take on it, when I was younger, obviously we were told that gay relationship is wrong, it’s not right, but I’m still reading a lot and I realised that some people are actually born with those genes in them.
‘Because you can see a guy who is gay and he is so feminine, he can’t help it. I realise it’s in them and there’s nothing you can do but accept it. If a guy and a guy want to marry, fine.
Although denying rumours that she is a lesbian, Jasmine but says she would never criticise gay or lesbian couples.
‘Like I said, I’m very liberal. I’m very open minded. I have seen a lot, I know a lot and I read a lot. I’m not gonna sit here and criticise no gay and lesbian people. Two guys gonna get married and so what? Some guys are genuinely not attracted to girls, no matter what you do.’
Jasmine Baroudi came into the limelight following her role in the TV series, Between the sheets.
